The last 4 years have been a terrible example of how to interact on Twitter as a politician, but in general the idea of a politician being able to connect directly with their citizens is still a great dream. I'm not sure if social media is the right approach, but right now I don't think there is a great alternative.

Especially when during campaigning it is necessary to grow that kind of following organically and to leverage social media. Saying that the day you get elected that you must disable your online presence feels like the wrong solution.

I do think there should be some higher standard though. I just am not sure what it is. The same threats exist in Email that exist on Twitter in a lot of ways. I can register "JoeBidden.com" and email you about "my" campaign all day. There's no official registration of your "official" domain anywhere. And even if there were, that can be hacked too.
